Sony has been cunningly showing flexibility in the prices according to the market moods. The PS3 60GB, which was originally sold for $599, was suddenly dropped to 499$. A full 100$ price cut produced a boom in the sales. And people began buying the console with renewed frenzy. PS3 smartly stopped producing the 60GB consoles in favor of promoting the 80GB console which shall start coming out as soon as the 60GB ones disappear, in that way securing itself from the loss most companies have to go through when launching an upgraded version of the same product. This strategy enabled Sony to sell Microsoft by 2000 units in Canada only. The sales increased tenfold to 159000$ which a mere 98000$ the previous month. Karraker stated, “The 60GB is not out of stock in the US. SonyStyle.com currently has a back order notice up on their site, but they are shifting some inventory and will have it available again soon.” When asked for further clarification, Karraker said, “All we can say at this point is we have ample inventory for anyone looking to buy a PS3 in North America.”

Sony’s New Strategy
Worms is a wacky, humorous, twisted game developed by the Team 17 featuring homicidal worms that seem to give the Taliban a run for their money. Hacking, blowing up, burning, bombing, are just a few of the things these little worms are fond off. Aside from those tactics taunting, name-calling are just a little of the other past times. Recently there have been many various “versions” of the game in which the voice-overs of the worms are taken from the movies; a very popular one includes voice-overs from “South Park”. After the PC, Team 17 first introduced Worms on the Xbox360 and now plans for another wacky episode on the Nintendo Wii are being laid out. The latest installment is called Worms: A Space Oddity. Finally the little worms can take a ride on the rockets, they are so found of firing at one another. Releasing in 2008 the worms have expanded their battles to 6 new planets, each having the traditional sci-fi looks and environment and new level design. The multiplayer mode has the option of having upto 4 players. It shall be a new experience on the Wii with the motion sensing technology and of course another excuse for the fans to go “worm-hunting”.
